The local saying is often used in difficult times to put a situation in perspective, as it basically means "Worse things have happened". The saying is drawn from Hungarian history, specifically the disaster at Mohács, where Hungary suffered a devastating defeat after an unstoppable attack by the Ottoman Empire.
A two-volume dedicated copy of the novel Egri Csillagok (Eclipse of the Crescent Moon) by Géza Gárdonyi fetched more than Ft 2 million at an auction hosted by Antikvárium.hu that ended on Sunday evening.
Go to journey through Hungary’s rich history, as few cultural experiences in Budapest are as essential for expats living in Hungary as visiting the Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum, as it’s called in Hungarian. Founded in 1802, it is the oldest public museum in the country and remains a centrepiece of local identity.
Like in many other countries around the world, Hungary has a rich tradition of saying farewell to winter and welcoming spring, replete with special customs and beliefs. Busójárás festival in Mohács stands out as one of the most significant and widely recognised traditions here, earning it a coveted spot on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
